All Presidents, like all human beings, get many things wrong. Ronald Reagan’s extraordinary achievement as President of the U.S. was to succeed in getting the two biggest challenges of his time right: defeating the Soviet Union and reviving the American economy and spirit. Neither of those achievements was inevitable. Both were fiercely opposed at the time. But he persisted — his visionary focus matched only by a gentleness of character and a brilliance of communication.
We honor his birthday this past week with an extraordinary video tribute to the greatest President of our lifetime.
